Oklahoma County begins construction on a $20M Behavioral Care Center for inmates, funded by COVID relief.

Oklahoma County has started building a 60-bed Behavioral Care Center near the new county jail, aimed at providing mental health services for inmates. The $20 million project, funded by COVID relief money, began in 2007 and is expected to be completed by September 2026, with a deadline of December 2026 due to funding constraints. Proponents argue it will reduce recidivism and improve inmate care.
